r THESE Is anything the Bible
teaches clearly, tt is that man
not own this earth. It is given
" Mt tO dO
as ha
not to use
bin. to each
tor the service at man and to
the glory of God. Man Is expected
to contribute something at his own
toO and thinking; expected to
put something to aa well as
take something out J
being what tt to.
we tend to take
credit to ourselvea
tor all we possess.
However, when a
agnizes how much
at what ho has
comes to him aa a
gift from God. he
can see that his
life to a partner
ship with God. and
that God as an investor in > the hu
man enterprise has the rights of a
senior partner and owner of most
at the stock. To act as if we our
selves were the lords at creation
to plain dishonesty.
? ? ?
The Church,
God's Special Agent
Let it be said again, though it
has been said before: The church
to the one community on ear?h
which to devoted solely to carry
ing out the purposes of God. The
church to God's channel at aetion;
the church to the body of Ovist
through which our Lord Uvea and
works. The church to the one' or
ganization devoted to the Ideal
world"?the kingdom of heaven
?which alms at bringing about
that world through the moot fun
damental of all methods, trans
forming life from wtthin., The
church to the one organization
on the planet whose aims actually
go beyond time, tor Its intention
to to prepare men not only tor
usefulness here under the sun but
for e'ernel life
Now you would think that church
members would realize this and
' act accordingly. But most at them
do not (Query: Is a "church mem
ber" who neither knows nor cares
what the church to doing, a real
member at all?) Look at these
facts: Out of the total income of
church families throughout the
U. S. A.. only 1.1 per cent to be
ing given to churches and their
work. Only 1.83 per cent of taxable
income is deducted for gifts. Only
about 45 per cent?less than half?
of the present membership give
anything of record for local church
support; and only about 30 per cent
give anything to the outreachlng
benevolent activities of the church.
You might not be surprised that
non-Christians are selfish; but
when more than two-thirds of the
enrolled church members don't put
in one red cent for the unselfish
purposes for which the church ex
ists, something is rotten in Chris
tendom.
? ? ?
Four Points In The
Christian Program
Let us come to some more brass
tacks. There is no argument among
the leaders of all Christian
churches that there are four major
emphases in the program of the
church. 1. Evangelism?winning
new Christiana (If you don't be
lieve in that, you are voting tor
Christianity's sickness and death.)
X Christian education?training
batter Christiana learning how to
serve Ss Christiana in every walk
of Ufa (If you don't believe in
that, you are voting for an infan
tile kind of Christianity, blind
to the problems at life today.) 3.
Missions ? spreading Christianity
into new territories. (Don't forget
that if tt had not been tor mis
sionaries, your own race would
never have heard the gospel.) 4.
Stewardship?the active recogni
tion of God as giver at life and
life's possibilities, at God as senior
partner in our Uvea of the fact
that what we have, we bold In trust
for him.
Now tt must be clear to any one
who will take the time to think it
over, that if point four to left out,
the other three will Just collapse.
? ? ? ?
What Is Tour Church Doing?
At the grass-roots of this whole
problem to the local church. What
to yours doing to improve this sit
uation of neglect? Does the minis
ter preach on stewardship? to
stewardship studied in the church
school? Do the adult study classes
ever look Into this matter seri
ously? An new members "briefed"
about be^ng stewards of God? Do
the young people's programs ever
go Into this? *
